The one star is for the lobby area and the nice woman at the front desk, who were pleasant enough to make me think this would be at least an average stay. The place is a dump beyond the lobby, though. The hallways stink and they're burning up. The room at least had the laminate floors but everything else in the room seemed vaguely dirty. Very humid and the AC only sort of worked. Didn't take a shower and slept with my own blanket and pillow. Woke up with itchy bites all on my legs. I don't think I saw another guest that wasn't part of the very obvious prostitution operation going on. I'm not from the area so I had no idea this exit is considered charlottes "PROSTITUTION HOTEL CORRIDOR" according to a news article I read. Didn't feel safe walking around. I understand not everything is going to be perfect at a budget motel...but for the price they're charging I expect, at the very least, not to feel like I'm going to be abducted into sex trafficking in the parking lot.
